Micro Telford - Priorslee Lake Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Alba15: This cache has been unavailable for a considerable period and as the owner has not responded to logs I am archiving it.

Guidelines: "As the cache owner, you are also responsible for physically checking your cache periodically, and especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to hunt for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable time - normally a few weeks - in which to arrange a visit to your cache. In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive or transfer the listing."

Geocache Description:

One of a series of Microcaches set in the more interesting areas of Telford, this one is on the banks of Priorslee Lake, easily reachable from either priorslee itself, or a layby on the B5060


This cache is the second placed in the Micro Telford series, which allows people to explore some of the slightly less well-known areas of Telford

This particular micro is situated on the bank of Priorslee Lake, an excellent spot for dog walking (and popular with truck drivers, as there's a layby with a burger van alongside it) and for Bird Watching (a Bittern was spotted here a few years ago!). The lake is currently covered in enough birds to obscure the water in places!

Parking

There are two parking places for the lake, the first is at SJ 71989 09674 just before the east side of the lake, this can be reached by heading into Priorslee and following signs for the lake.

The second is at SJ 72592 09404 which is a layby on the B5060, there's a burger van here during the day with toilets (which i think are for customer use only).

Cache Details

The cache itself is a small camera film container which has only a logbook and pencil inside, there is probaby no room for swaps, unless they're very small.

It is located on the bank, though you can reach it from the path, so you should not have to get too close to the water, or climb accross the rocks

This is a popular area for dogwalkers, so please be very careful finding and hiding the cache

Other Nearby items

There's nothing else at present that you can easily walk to from the cache site, though there are a few other caches that will only take a few minutes drive to reach.

There's also Trig Point a little over a mile away(for those that do trigpointing as well) at Red Hill
